Kinderschutzprodukte - Vom Verbraucher anzubringende Fingerschutzvorrichtungen für Türen - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren von für die private Nutzung bestimmte Fingerschutzvorrichtungen fest, die vom Verbraucher in Innenräumen an Drehflügeltüren befestigt werden, um Verletzungen von Kindern durch Quetschen von Fingern beim Schließen der Tür zu verhindern.
Ein Fingerschutzprodukt beruht auf mindestens einem der drei Schutzverfahren: Abschirmen von Gefährdungsstellen, Vermeiden des Schließens oder kontrolliertes Schließen einer Tür.
ANMERKUNG 1 Produkte, die dafür vorgesehen sind, die Tür in einer feststehenden Position zu halten, sowie Reibscharniere werden in der vorliegenden Europäischen Norm nicht behandelt.
ANMERKUNG 2 Fingerschutzvorrichtungen, die dafür vorgesehen sind, von Fachbetrieben eingebaut zu werden, oder die ein fester Bestandteil des Türsystems sind, liegen außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieser Europäischen Norm.

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai relatives aux dispositifs de protection des doigts à monter soi-même et destinés à être installés sur des portes à charnières dans un environnement domestique à l’intérieur des bâtiments afin d'éviter aux enfants toute blessure due à un écrasement lors de la fermeture de la porte.
Tout produit de protection des doigts est basé sur au moins une des trois méthodes de protection suivantes : écran anti-risque, prévention de fermeture ou contrôle de fermeture.
NOTE 1 Les produits destinés à maintenir la porte dans une position fixe et les charnières à friction ne sont pas couverts par la présente Norme européenne.
NOTE 2 Les dispositifs de protection des doigts prévus pour être installés par des professionnels, ou qui font partie intégrante de la porte, sont hors du domaine d'application de la présente Norme.

Overview
EN 16654:2015 - "Child protective products - Consumer fitted finger protection devices for doors - Safety requirements and test methods" is a European Standard published by CEN. It specifies safety requirements and test methods for consumer‑fitted finger protection devices mounted on hinged doors in domestic indoor environments to prevent crushing injuries to children when doors close. The standard covers devices based on three protection methods: hazard shielding, shut prevention, and shut controlling. It excludes products that only maintain a door in a fixed position, friction hinges, and devices installed by professionals or built into the door system.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Protection methods defined:
- Hazard shielding (protects hinge gap)
- Shut prevention (maintains a gap at the handle edge)
- Shut controlling (controls deceleration to prevent sudden shutting)
- Mechanical function & structural integrity: Devices must not crack, break, deform permanently or disengage under defined mechanical tests and must remain functional afterwards.
- Effectiveness: Devices must protect from the bottom of the door to at least 1 800 mm height, be effective across permissible opening angles, and fit doors of at least 40 mm thickness (unless stated otherwise).
- Specific test types: Accessibility and deformation tests for hazard shielding; static strength for shut prevention; dynamic strength for shut controlling. Small part detachment tests require parts falling from ≤ 1 500 mm not to fit wholly into the prescribed small‑parts cylinder.
- Child appeal: Devices shall not be child‑appealing (no toy‑like shapes, sounds, lights, etc.).
- Sharp edges & materials: Accessible edges must be rounded or chamfered; manufacturers must declare suitable door types, materials and fixings.
- Information & marking: Mandatory point‑of‑sale information, full user instructions in the country language(s), mounting guidance (e.g., mount hazard shields from the bottom up to 1 800 mm), maintenance checks and replacement warnings.
Applications and who uses this standard
EN 16654:2015 is used by:
- Manufacturers and product designers of consumer finger protection devices to design and validate products against safety requirements.
- Testing laboratories and certification bodies to perform standardized safety and durability tests.
- Retailers and product safety officers to ensure point‑of‑sale information and instructions comply with legal and consumer safety expectations.
- Consumer safety organizations and procurement teams evaluating door safety solutions for homes, childcare facilities and rental properties.
